why are u going all the way back to 07? times were different then. DLH and Arum dont get along nearly as well as they did back then. that **** is irrelevent. 07 is BEFORE pac became a megastar after arum saw that pacquiao could do good numbers after Hatton and DLH what happened? ALL IN-HOUSE fights. even Mosley and Marquez are still considered in house fights cuz whos promoting it? TOP RANK. arum is greedy he didnt want GBP to be involved cuz its more money to split dumbass
it is what it is. if pac was clean he could of simply called floyds bluff and agreed to the testing when it comes to mayweather a fighter like ortiz AUTOMATICALLY has a **** load of fans for the simple fact that hes mexican everyone knows that. mexicans are very prideful no matter who it is. did u see how much ortiz supporters were there?
2007 since it's the first time floyd fought a GBP fighter and is fighting in-house exclusively since then. since you are talking about pac, i gave you a comparison from 2007 until present about the two fighters. floyd has never fought non-GBP fighters since then. pac has fought hatton a GBP fighter, just in 2009. floyd has never fought outside of GBP since when, 2006?
he agreed to it but floyd constantly changed his demand and even took a vacation when he lost his urge. i'm not talking about pac since this would become a pac-floyd thread. there are some instances like the cotto fight, margo fight and the winky fight that floyd avoided and took on a less riskier opponent or retired. so ortiz gets the fight since he is mexican while cotto is not an option since he is non-draw according to ellerbe?
do u seriously think arum would do business with floyd when he barely wants to make a superfight with pacquiao? hell no. u act as if arum and floyd are on speaking terms and good friends. like i said cotto has NEVER shown interest in mayweather nor called him out in 08. i guarantee if he was with GBP it would have happened by now. so let me ask u? who the hell has the best fighters if not top rank? Golden Boy and u know it.
cotto - has never wanted to fight, call him out, or showed interest in fighting floyd plus he was with top rank. winky - negotiations fell thru he bidded himself out this **** happens when negotiating. its stupid to call it ducking. if floyd wanted to duck him why would he start negotiating with him IN THE FIRST PLACE. Margarito - Call it what u want but Floyd MADE 25 MILLION when he fought DLH. was he supposed to take less money with margarito? DLH is a legend and a better fighter then Margarito HAS EVER BEEN period plus he didnt drain and fought him at 154 lbs. thats pretty damn risky but high reward too.
Sturm by far. I dont see how chavez jr is ahead of him. They stated out right they were moving chavez up carefully so they dont end up with a vargas on their hands. He didnt have an amateur background. Sturm has done **** all since he put his name on the map with what most considered a win over DLH almost 10 years ago. Hes been a belt holder forever and didnt even try to get involved with Hopkins/Taylor/Tito/Winky/Pavlic/Williams/Martinez, he has been fighting bums in germany for the last decade. I mean that is 7 top name fighters off the top of my head who fought at 160 that sturm didnt even bother trying to fight.
some cotto and floyd quotes back in 2008 This content is protected http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/item_o5cxI09JZEADpDATq4wn9N This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected http://www.cbssports.com/boxing/story/10526277/2 also from another boxing site, ellerbe was quoted with this, This content is protected This content is protected http://www.cbssports.com/boxing/story/10526277/1 so there goes your theory that cotto doesn't want the floyd fight back in 2008 but floyd seems to be on vacation mode during that time while ellerbe has an excuse that cotto is a non-draw.
Hes an ignorant ******* just ignore him. DLH was a more dangerous fight than Margo. DLH would have KTFO of margo at 154 just like he did mayorga. He also forgets Roach wanting the Mosley fight at 144 and when mosley said yes there was nothing but the sound of crickets coming from Pac's camp. Money May beats Mosley at 147 and then mosley was old and shot, but not too old and shot for pac to fight him a full year after the floyd fight and 18+ months after Pac ducked him when Mosley agreed to fight at 144.
Pac is by far the most protected fighter because he has the most to lose and does not live up to the hype....he should have been on your list...I bet he doesn't face Berto or Ortiz, the other top walterweights.
